I'm not sure if I posted something like this before, but I'm looking for a full turbo kit. I've been looking for a kit, but not sure whch one to get. I was thinking T3/T4 ball bearing, but someone had mentioned a 60-trim. I know a little bit abgout induction, but I've built a lot of muscle cars that are all motor, so not really familiar on which turbo would be the best, for what vehicle. If anyone has any opinions on what's what, please let me know.

It''s hard to acutally find VR6 kits for my car...I''m always stuck searching and hunting for parts for my car. Everything is for the 1.8T or Golfs and GTI''s. There''s a place in salt lake that does turbos, they were featured in Eurotuner Magazine, who would charge me $5000 to put 400HP into my Jetta. A little expensive for me rihgt now, but wonder how much cheaper it would be to DIY.

If you know what you need it would be significantly lessto do. Did my K04 Conversion for less than 1600. would be 3000 or more in a kit

But I''n not exactly sure what to get. I mean I know I know what it takes to run the turbo but I''m used to doing on muscle cars, not these.

Time to learn, just jump into it, do your research and well get your hands dirty. I did my research and my frst turbo swap went without a hitch, I did need a little help from my friends though...

kentic motorsport has a good kit. or just find a kit on-line see what all is in it and peice one togther. You don''t want to go to small on the vr6 but you don''t want to go so big that you get a ton of lag and more boost than your engine can handle
